From Security Awareness to Proactive Defense: Dashlane Launches First–of-its-Kind Integration with KnowBe4
Human risk remains a leading cause of breaches. These risks are increasingly playing out in the browser, where employees work, log in, and interact with sensitive data every day.
Dashlane is the first security solution to address human risk by integrating with KnowBe4, the industry leader in human risk management. Now, employees’ risky credential behavior—using a weak password, visiting a suspected phishing site, and more—automatically triggers targeted security awareness training modules.
Together, Dashlane and KnowBe4 create a closed-loop system, connecting real-time credential threat detection with immediate, contextual security education to improve employee behavior.
Is your standard security training truly effective?
For IT and security leaders, human risk continues to be one of the most difficult security challenges to address. They lean on standard security awareness training to connect employees’ unsecure password habits to meaningful security outcomes.
However, that security awareness training is usually:
- Calendar-driven instead of risk-driven, delivered on a fixed schedule rather than triggered by real employee behavior
- Reactive rather than in-the-moment, arriving weeks or months after a risky action when the context and lesson are already lost
- Broad and generic, covering many topics at once instead of focusing on the specific risk an employee just encountered
- Detached from daily workflows, making it harder for employees to connect training content to real decisions they make in the browser
The result is training that checks a compliance box but fails to meaningfully change behavior when it matters most.
Drive real risk reduction with targeted, automated training
By integrating directly with KnowBe4, the Dashlane OmnixTM proactive credential security platform helps organizations close the gap between risk detection and action.
Here’s how this first-of-its-kind integration works:
- IT and security teams can automatically assign targeted security awareness training modules to specific risky security behaviors employees may engage in. These include using a weak, reused, or compromised password and visiting a suspected phishing site.
- When an employee engages in that risky behavior, Omnix responds with a real-time alert to the employee like always, guiding them toward a more secure action.
- Omnix now sends a log of the risky behavior to KnowBe4, which prompts the employee to take a security awareness training module specific to their risky behavior, helping them recognize and avoid similar risks in the future.
For IT and security teams, this integration automatically turns real, in-browser credential risks into targeted training for smarter, faster remediation. Teams save time, gain clearer visibility into employee-driven risk, and get a scalable way to reinforce better security behavior in the moment.

"Integrating KnowBe4 with Dashlane Omnix took the friction out of improving employee security habits—a significant part of our security posture," says Scott Holleran, Senior VP of Technology for Vertex Service Partners.
Why this integration is different
Dashlane is the only password manager that detects credential-based threats for all employee passwords in the browser, even if they’re not stored in a vault.
Now, we’re also the only security solution that provides cross-platform, risky credential behavior events to KnowBe4, who own the largest library of security awareness training, phishing simulations, and interactive modules.
Together, the platforms operationalize credential risk signals into timely, targeted security awareness training that help employees avoid repeating risky security behavior.
“Integrating Dashlane’s real-time detection into KnowBe4’s training ecosystem transforms human risk management into a proactive defense layer that can further help to prevent credential-based breaches,” said Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer at KnowBe4. “The correlation between detected security risks from Dashlane and the KnowBe4 platform’s capabilities with custom training are building a foundation for a strong security culture.”
From alerts to results
Security teams need ways to turn insights into action. With Dashlane and KnowBe4, credential risks detected in the browser automatically become opportunities to reinforce better security behaviors without IT intervention.
By bridging the gap between detection and training, Dashlane and KnowBe4 help organizations protect against credential-based attacks, reduce human risk, and build stronger security habits across the workforce—the moment a risk occurs.
